As David Holmes mentions in his ocmment on the JIRA it is possible to
control re-export of the JNI entrypoints in the shared library using a
linker map. Indeed, OpenJDK does this to limit visibility of entrypoints
to libjvm.

Is there a reason why this is not a viable alternative to changing the
definition of the JNIEXPORT macros?
